Ice Spice Is Now Playing Governors Ball 2023
Everything you need to know about attending NYC’s biggest festival.
Governors Ball is going park-side again. After two years of calling the concrete locale of Citi Field home, the New York City flagship festival is relocating once more: This time, just a few ways down to Queens’ Flushing Meadows Corona Park for its 2023 iteration. Given that the festival used to be held amidst the green at the lush Randall’s Island Park, the move will mark a homecoming of sorts for Governors Ball — and they’ve announced a lineup worthy enough to kick off the new beginning.
Lizzo, Odesza, and Kendrick Lamar will headline the festival at its brand new location, playing alongside an equally star-powered lower bill including Haim, Lil Uzi Vert, K-pop stars Aespa, Diplo, Rina Sawayama, Lil Nas X, Sofi Tukker, Lil Baby, and many, many others.
On March 23, the festival also added Ice Spice to the bill, doing their due diligence of promoting the flourishing NYC music scene.
This year’s new location isn’t the only major change at Governors Ball. The festival is also introducing the new ticket tier GA+, which will allow access to air-conditioned restrooms, an exclusive lounge with shade, seating, an exclusive bar, food vendors, water refill stations, and concierge service.
Summer in the city just got better — and tickets to Governors Ball 2023 are sure to go fast. Below, see everything to know about the festival including its lineup, exact dates and location, and how to score passes.
